Would you like to hear some? I don't think so. Been in dogs for 30 + years. Have brought CH Siamese cat from the UK. We leash trained him before the trip. He was brilliant.

Re: New DEFRA Regs from January 2012

Re: New DEFRA Regs from January 2012

I imagine they are using the wrong scanner. It would be almost impossible for TWO microchips to have migrated. The thought you would have to insert a third foreign body into your pet is insane. Find...

Re: New DEFRA Regs from January 2012

You are correct........my children were in college and I was recently divorced. I was in panic mode. I missed my kids too much and returned several months later.

Re: New DEFRA Regs from January 2012

I have flown dogs twice with no problems and mine are very tiny - Chihuahuas. They did really well and were not affected at all by the trips.

Re: New DEFRA Regs from January 2012

I agree. I wait until they put ice chips in the water bowl which prevents spillage before they are boarded. I know the lady here in Dallas who handles the dogs. She also gives them a couple of...

Windsong.....I know for sure people have taken two or more dogs in one cabin bag.... Chihuahuas.....larger.....not so sure. The other practical aspect is going through security. I travel with one or...
